HAIR 2 DYE 4

Hi here is my other layout to my double spread. I love pink, even though we dyed Jessies hair red! Another super easy page to scraplift if you would like. The sparkly butterflly is Prima.

Hi this is a photo of Jess the day we dyed her hair! Big mistake!

Just layer up and decorate. I handmade the flourish using perfect pearls and punched out the daisys. I Added a doily to bring out the white in the photo and punched out a doily border. Then layer up.

SPEECH

Hi this is another layout using the same sketch as 59th BIRTHDAY BASH.

This is the other page to my double layouts for October using the same sketch. Ive added glittery butterflies this time, and lots of flowers and leaves.

Hi, Here is a layout Ive just finished using the sketch from Once Upon A Sketch with one of my pumpkin photos. The butterfly and flowers are Prima and Petaloo. The paper is Little Sprout by Fancy Pants. I couldnt wait to start these photos. Another easy peasy page. Just layer and add your embellies. Can you see all the little pumpkin faces? Ive used a doilly again to pick out the white in the photo to tone down all the orange. Im not a great lover of orange but think it works quite well with the green and the white. Thanks for looking.BFN. 

PRINCESS

Hi, here is a page I've done using Bo Bunny - Gabrielle papers.

I love all things butterfly so knew as soon as I saw these I'd find a good use for them. Here I used a few layers to build up the page.  So, start with the background paper and work up. I used a template for the scalloped border and inked the edges. I cut a circle in the butterfly paper then hand cut a brown border. I used the pink from the photo for the photo mat and used a journaling block for the title.  I then added some prima flowers and a handmade flower vine and sone die cut leaves. I cut out and glittered some butterflies to finish off and added the title. BFN Carole.

CHERISH

Hi,  this is the other layout I did with lace. I chose a lovely background paper with has script all over it and added a cutout template in  a pretty purple. I cut free hand to make the dark purple shaped mat underneath.  I used a lace doily that I spritzed with glimmer mist in the top right hand corner. I made a lace border with a punch, around the photo. then I added a side border in cream. I then added another punched border on the bottom left and added some real lace on top which finished framing the photo. I then added a handmade vine, flowers, more dragonflies and some pearls. Last but not least I put on the Title. I just need to add some journaling and thats done. A pretty lacy page.

PARTY TIME

• I  wanted to do a page where I used lots of lace. So here it is. I cut out my background paper with a template and matted my photo 4 times.
• I added lace around the edges of my mats. I made a lace flower and added a lace trim border under the title PARTY. I also added a paper doily under the badge - Traditions -  and pulled lace through the sides.  I addded flowers leaves and dragonflies. I added the title and a couple of journaling mats under the photo. the papers are Bo Bunny - Gabrielle.
